§ Mr. Knoxasked the Secretary of State for Transport (1) on how many days in each of the past three years all three north-bound lanes of the M6 in Staffordshire have been open;
(2) on how many days in each of the past three years all three south-bound lanes of the M6 in Staffordshire have been open.
§ Mrs. ChalkerAll three lanes north or south bound on the 37-mile length of M6 in Stafforshire were free of lane closures for planned maintenance on some 75 days in each of the last three years. But my Department does not maintain records of all lane closures arising, for example, from an emergency such as an accident.
